Summary: Handy reference guide, but not a sit down and read book
Comment: While this book is not on my required reading list on my web site, it is still a very handy reference guide to have on hand. This is not a book that I sat down and read all the way through, and I doubt that many other people would also. It is a HUGE book! This is a good book to have on hand when you need to look up something specific about the music business, and is much easier to read and use than "This Business Of Music". I still highly recommend the Donald Passman book as the first book that anyone looking for success in the music business should read, because it is a book that you can sit down and read (although it's also probably too big to read in one sitting).

Summary: THE Guide to law & business in Entertainment
Comment: Imagine taking a hike through a forest sans compass or trail map. One could be lost for days on end, wandering aimlessly, without any sense of direction. Unfortunately, for most musicians and aspiring industry professionals alike, that's exactly the way their career is spent. Lost in the dense woodland of the forest, unable to see the trees for what they are. If knowledge is the key to success in any career than the Musician's Guide provides the direction for understanding the complexities of the entertainment industry. Devoid of excessive legalese and business jargon, while delving deeply into the everyday issues musicians and music business-people face, Musician's Guide is a savior for everyone on any level of entertainment industry. Presented by a panel of legal and business experts and the Beverly Hills Bar Association, Musician's Guide effectively confronts a variety of legal and business issues in a clear and concise way while not skimming over any of the detail necessary to garner a strong grasp of the concepts. While not necessarily a replacement for a strong business manager or accomplished layer, it makes the time spent with both more effective and allows musicians at any level the comfort of knowing they are not being taken by the evil's common in the industry. By the same token, for anyone aspiring for a business or legal career in the industry the Musician's Guide provides a superb textbook explanation of the aspects of both, in an environment allowing for a strong understanding of the details, not just basic concepts commonly faced in the industry. On the cutting edge of current issues including sampling, new media and the Internet, copyright ownership and usage, international music issues as well as changes in the basic contractual structure and the more traditional concepts dealt with in many texts on entertainment business and law, the Musician's Guide provides more than just the basic ideals, it rips at the meat of these with a saw tooth. The depth and breath of the explanation is easily the biggest benefit of owning the book. Musician's Guide provides the opportunity for success on all levels with real world examples paired with examples of contracts and letters commonly used in the industry translated into plain and simple English without forgetting that wording is everything when working in a pure business or legal environment. Promoting the idea that understand the complexities of the music industry is important fin the success of everyone, the Musician's Guide provides a step-by-step manual of sorts, fully caring out it's own namesake in a stellar fashion.
